hey guys. new to the forums. so i have no spark. i just bought the bike non running (due to hole in gas tank). but when i checked it out, i hooked a jump pack to it, sprayed some starter fluid, and it fired up and idled for a few seconds. so it had spark, and then i brought it home, and then it has no spark. the coils get hot, the cdi gets warm too, but i made a rookie mistake and hooked the battery up backwards today, blew the fuse, jumped it with a paperclip, and then saw the paper clip start to glow red hot and instantly i unplugged it and discovered the battery was installed incorrectly by myself. also, MAJOR thing is the bike sat outside. uncovered, and when i got home i noticed the cdi box hanging so i was going to zip tie it up but when i picked it up water was inside. i shook it around to get it out, but wondering if maybe thats what blew? i need anyones tips or help here, im desperate. there is no spark at either spark plug but again the cdi (igniter box) gets warm and so does the coils.
